The gap is referred to black triangle, if you did not have that to start with, then give it about 6 weeks! to see if the gap will be closed, however if you had that gap to begin with, and you wanted the black triangle not to show, unfortunately you might need to redo the veneer, or ask your dentist for other options such as dental bonding!

Michael Fulbright, DDS · Answer

It will take some time for your gums to heal and fill in. Because it has only been two weeks,  I would give it a at least a month or even six weeks to completely heal. If the gap is still there, contact your dentist. Good luck!

Hi:Normally it will take 4-6 weeks for the gum to fill in.  I would let the office know that the gap is still there.Best,Dr. Maddahi
